Hymnal: Voices of Praise #90 (1883) Meter: Irregular Lyrics: 1 Our blest Redeemer, ere He breathed
His tender, last farewell,
A Guide, a Comforter, bequeathed
With us to dwell.
2 He came in semblance of a Dove
With sheltering wings outspread,
The holy balm of peace and love
On earth to shed.
3 He came sweet influence to impart
A gracious, willing guest,
While He can find one humble heart
Wherein to rest.
4 And His that gentle voice we hear,
Soft as the breath of even,
That checks each thought, that calms each fear,
And speaks of heaven.
5 And every virtue we possess,
And every victory won,
And every thought of holiness
Are His alone.
6 Spirit of purity and grace,
Our weakness, pitying, see:
O make our hearts Thy dwelling-place,
And meet for Thee.
7 O praise the Father; praise the Son;
Blest Spirit, praise to Thee;
All praise to God, the Three in One,
The One in Three.
Amen. Topics: The Holy Spirit Languages: English Tune Title: S. CUTHBERT
